  1. OOh, what a great deal... but so hard to do. My favorite product is probably my stack of distress inks. I love them because they give me the ability to alter, highlight, distress and just be plain creative!

  2. I've learned to love a good many products since first getting into scrapbooking. But, I'd have to say, what got me started into crafts back when I was in junior high remains my favorite: stamps! =) I've more recently discovered clear stamps and love that they're lighter, easier to store, let you see exactly where you're stamping them, and less expensive so you can buy more! :) I also love all the rainbow of ink pads that go with stamps, because I just simply love color! 8) Thanks for the opportunity, Roni, and Happy Birthday! And may you and Ink Stains have many, many more!

    What a great prize! My favorite craft product, if you can call them that, are Sharpie Markers. I love them and I use them on everything.....coloring my hand drawn art, embellishing over collage, decorating envelopes for sending mail art, coloring the tops of my staples so they will match my art projects....the possibilities for Sharpie Art are endless!

  9. Happy Anniversary of ONE WHOLE YEAR of BLOGGING! This young blog is off to a grand start, with many many more to go!
    Since I've been collecting and using stamps for 30 years, I will give stamps as my answer~but what fun are stamps without INK or PAINT to use with them?

  10. Happy Blogoversary, Roni! I'm so glad you started doing this and hope that you can continue for many more years :)

    My favorite product (at the moment) are my alcohol inks, followed by my ink pads at a very close second.

  11. Just about anything Ranger....ok ok if I have to say just 1 thing I'd have to say...Crafter's Pick The Ultimate glue...non toxic and super strong!!!

  12. Happy Birthday to Ink Stains! Long may you continue blogging. Now my favorite craft product - tough one indeed, but I am going to exclude the staple items such as stamps cuz that's too easy an answer.

    So I guess for me it has to be Stickles glitter! I adore anything sparkly and while unlike some folks I don't get in a stew about glitter getting in my hair and more or less everywhere else too, I do have to say I love the way using Stickles is so mess free and so controlable with the fine nozzle on the bottle. The sparkle you get is fab, the glue dries perfectly clear, no cloudyness to dull the glitter and boy does it stay stuck!

  13. Happy Blog Anniversary!

    To answer your question....
    My favorite product right now is Zip Dry Paper glue! I LOVE this stuff and how it holds!

  14. My ATG gun. I use it all the time and save a bundle on adhesive costs.

  15. Happy Blogaversary!

    I would say that IF I had to whittle it down to just one product, it would be photos. Photos are the root of all of my project. You can have any type of paper, glue or anything else for that matter. The heart of all of my scrapping projects is photos!

  16. Happy Blogoversary, Roni! I remember when you were teasing us on the forum about what you might be up to and then finally told us about the blog! :-)
    I would have to say my inks are my favorite things--pads and alcohol, etc. That's probably why we get along so well. :-)

  17. Oh my goodness. My all time favorite thing that I think I totally got my moneys worth is the non stick craft sheet. (Just don't cut on it) I use it for everything, painting, mixing paint, inking, mod podging (is that a word?) I'm such a messy person and this is perfect. Just a quick wipe with a baby wipe, dry with a paper towel and I'm good to go for my next project. Love it. You guys have got to get one. Just wish I could get a bigger one.

  18. Happy Anniversary.
    I can't live without a good white gel pen. The Ranger pen is my favorite right now. I love to journal with it. Add doodles to pattern papers. And faux stitching to cards and scrapbook pages. I don't know what I did before the good ones were releases.

  19. My favorite product right now is my heat gun. I'm am embossing fool as of late. :) Thanks so much for the giveaway opportunity.

  21. Happy Birthday Ink Stains and Roni. I love you dearly! (((( hugs ))))

    My favorite craft product is Ranger inks - all the different kinds. I love that I can get the same awesome colors in Distress, pigment, solvent and dye inks, not to mention pens, alcohol inks, color wash sprays etc. I love cranberry, butterscotch, shabby shutters, worn lipstick, red pepper... well, I could name them all b/c I love them ALL! My point is that I get the very best colors on the market in every imaginable form and THEY ALL COORDINATE TOGETHER. Brilliant. Just brilliant, IMO.

    Yay! I love your give-aways, too, but I love Ink Stains most for the fantastic projects and clear, friendly tutorials. Keep on blogging, sister. You've got a winner here!

  22. that is tough - I am guessing the rubber stamps is too broad? how about versa fine ink pads? They give such crisp images - I love stamping with them!

  33. Only one??? Whew, that's hard! I'd probably say UTEE because you can do so much with it. Sometimes I get on a roll and I just don't want to stop. But my clear stamps come in at a close second. I LOVE STAMPS!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Happy Blog Birthday Roni -- I don't know how you manage to post so much great information and almost daily, but very glad that you do. My favorite craft product (other than the basics of stamps/paper/ink) would be anything metallic, such as Krylon pens or metallic leafing or metallic embossing powder.

  48. Happy Birthday Bash and thanks for the
    Give-A_Way offer. My new favorite product
    at present has to be most anything Tim
    Holtz related. In the long run, stamps
    are what started it all for me and what I
    always keep an eye out for whenever I shop, you never know where you might find a random stamp lurking about.
